Born in the 70s
My work: Airbnb Host-boy mom
I’m a boy mom of four, chaos wrangler, scrapbooker and a big fan of cozy lake vibes. I live for quiet mornings, a good cup of coffee, and a chance to just take it all in. I’m originally from the Dallas area and have always loved being near the water. Sharing our lake home through Airbnb has been a special way for our family to help other families slow down and make memories together. It’s also a wonderful space for friends to gather and craft!
